Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-10-19
The short version : No account, no login, and your priority date never leaves your browser. The only personal data we store is an email address you choose to submit, together with the category and country it refers to, so we can send a bulletin reminder. You can have it deleted at any time.
1. What we do not collect
- No name, phone number, postal address, passport number, A-number, or any identity document.
- Your priority date is never stored. All five tools compute in your browser, and the date is not transmitted.
- No third-party advertising pixels, no ad networks, and no cross-site tracking.
- Nothing is sold or exchanged with data brokers.
2. What we do collect
2.1 Information you submit
- Bulletin reminder: the email address, the visa category and country of birth you selected, and the page you subscribed from. Used for one purpose only — telling you when that cut-off changes.
- Feedback: the description you write, an optional email, and the page you were on. Used to check and correct the content, and to reply if you left an address.
- Each submission records the time and the exact consent text shown, as proof of consent.
2.2 Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 for traffic measurement: page views, referral channel, device type, approximate region, and tool progress (for example "the decoder produced a result"). This is aggregate data; it is not joined to an email address and is not used for personalisation.
Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser. You can refuse it through your browser settings or Google opt-out tools; the site keeps working normally if you do.
3. Where the data lives and for how long
- Submissions are stored on our own server (United States) as CSV files. No third-party form service holds them.
- Each submission is also emailed to the maintainer so it is acted on rather than sitting in a file.
- Reminder data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion; feedback is deleted within 12 months of the issue being closed.
4. Who can see it
Only Alyssa Xu of ClearRules Labs can see submissions. The email list is never given to partners, advertisers, or any third party, except where a valid legal or regulatory request requires it — in which case we will tell you where the law allows.
5. Your rights
At any time you can ask us to:
- show you what we hold about you;
- correct anything inaccurate;
- delete everything and stop emailing you;
- withdraw consent (without affecting processing already done).
Email admin@clearruleslabs.com with the address you used, and we will act within 30 days.
6. Children
This site is aimed at adult applicants and their families. It is not directed at children under 16 and does not knowingly collect their data.
7. Changes
When this policy changes we update the date at the top. A change that broadens what we collect is announced prominently on the site.
